Yang Wangyuan and the others fled, Lu Hongniang was eager to try and was about to catch up, Jin Landaoren flicked his robe, and Qian'er stopped him: "Hongniang, poor Kou Mo chase, we have won a lot this time, we still have to be steady, time is on our side." Once Yang Shen and the others calculated and suffered losses, the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Lu Hongniang raised her hand and said indignantly: "Senior Brother Jin, if we don't chase it now, I'm afraid that Yang Wangyuan will blow up the spiritual veins and loot the floating wealth to go to the Nanlu Pavilion Mountain Gate." We have been fighting with Hongshan Sect for almost a hundred years, and seeing that the fruit is ripe and not picked, we are afraid that we will be ruined by Yang Wangyuan soon, and we have worked hard for many years to be useless. ”

Jin Lan Daoren waved his hand and said, "How can you say it's useless? At least we control the three counties under the rule of the Hongshan Sect, and there are tens of millions of more mortals under our rule, as long as we can treat everyone equally, these mortals can continue to replenish us with monks, and the foundation of the sect will be even stronger. And even if the Taihong Mountain Spirit Vein is blown up, it is still a fourth-order high-grade Spirit Vein, plus the Huaping Mountain Spirit Vein, it will be rewarded after all.

We are not enough high-level cultivators now, but we already occupy a lot of spiritual veins, even if the spiritual veins of Taihong Mountain are very valuable, it is not worth everyone's risk. When enough monks are recruited, they will be able to defeat the enemy with dignity. ”

Jin Laozu persuaded everyone with his words, he had more experience than others, and he also knew a little more about the combat power of the Jindan period monks, once Yang Shen and the others fought for their lives, there were still five fifth-order spirit runes in their hands, but I was afraid that those present today would also suffer heavy losses.

After defeating Hongshan Sect, Yuntai Mountain began to mobilize that night, raising grain and raising manpower, and on the second day, he sent troops in a big way, and ten days later, everyone led the army to the gate of Taihong Mountain.

Now the high-ranking monks on Taihong Mountain have already left with Yang Wangyuan, and the low-level monks have also heard the news, and they are afraid that the Qingxuanzong monks will pursue and flee.

The elixir garden on the mountain was also looted by the monks of the Hongshan Sect, and the treasury was empty, and there was almost nothing left except for the spiritual veins that had descended in grade.

However, Taihong Mountain has been operated by the Hongshan Sect for many years, and a large number of spiritual fields have been opened up on the mountain, and the monks of the Qingxuan Sect have carefully counted them, and the spiritual fields on the mountain have exceeded 10,000 mu, and there are more than 200 acres of spiritual medicine gardens that can be used.

Because he was afraid that the Qingxuanzong monks would be surrounded, Yang Wangyuan didn't have time to pollute a large amount of spiritual fields, and this large amount of resources fell into the control of the Qingxuanzong monks.

If you want to develop this tens of thousands of acres of spiritual field, you must invest at least three million spirit stones, relying on ten thousand acres of spiritual field, Hongshan Sect's annual income is about 100,000 spirit stones. Having lost such a large amount of money, even if the Hongshan Sect and the Nanlu Pavilion joined forces, they would not be able to support too many people to practice at all, but I was afraid that it would gradually decline.

The high-level of the Qingxuan Sect stood in the large spiritual field, and the Jinlan Daoist looked at the top of Taihong Mountain and said: "The monks of the Hongshan Sect have not even destroyed the formation, it can be seen how rushed they went, from today onwards, this sect will not be regarded as our henchmen, and I can also breathe a sigh of relief and return to Qingyang Mountain to practice." ”

Listening to Jin Laozu's words, Luo Ziyan immediately spoke: "There are three fourth-order spiritual veins in the four northern counties, with a population of tens of millions, and their importance to us is more than that of the three southeastern counties, and it also borders on the Huanshui Sect. ”

Jin Laozu bowed his head and said: "Zi Yan don't worry, Pei Yu and I will sit in charge for a while, and then return to the mountain gate when the situation is stable." The top priority is the spirit stone mine in Dongyang Mountain, according to the report from the monks of the foundation building period we sent to investigate, the Huanshui Sect has intervened, and the spirit stone mine has been planted with the banner of the Huanshui Sect, and they have brought this spirit stone mine under their control without saying hello to us. ”

After receiving this news, everyone's faces were a little gloomy.

Huanshui Sect has three Jindan period monks, and before the Qingxuan Sect developed and expanded, they were basically the dominant ones in Yu Kingdom.

Because of its proximity to the Wu Kingdom, it received a lot of refugees from the Wu Kingdom from the Ancient Demon Rebellion that year, and the population controlled by the Huanshui Sect was as high as more than 20 million, far exceeding the small sects such as Qingxuanzong and Hongshan Sect.

Not only are there more Jindan period monks, but even the foundation building period monks who are the backbone of the Huanshui Sect have more than five hundred, and even the Zifu period monks have seventeen people, even if they were attacked by demon cultivators a few years ago and lost some strength, their war potential still exceeds the current Qingxuan Sect.

Moreover, once the war with the Huanshui Sect starts, I am afraid that Yang Wangyuan and Shen Shenzhou will still act rashly, and I don't know how many people will die when the battle starts.

In the eighty-five years of war with Hongshan Sect, even if Qingxuanzong was the victor, there were sixty or seventy foundation building period monks who died in the battle.

Even the Purple Mansion monks Sun Changgeng and Shen Conglong also died in this long-term war, and three or four Purple Mansion monks suffered heavy losses, affecting the path. If the war continues, even the high-ranking members of the sect, to be honest, will not have much confidence.

After more than eighty years of war, even the dignified Jindan Stage Ancestor could only cultivate on the low-level spiritual vein, which affected the progress of cultivation, not to mention the suffering of low-level cultivators.

In particular, the battlefield near Eguchi-gun has lost countless people due to the perennial war disaster.

Because of the constant changes in the battle front, the monks had to move back and forth with mortals, and this constant turmoil caused serious population losses.

Because of this long-term war, more than 100 Xiuxian families were destroyed in Jiangnan, Jiangkou and other counties, and more than one million people died on the way to migrate.

Although the losses on the Qingxuanzong side were small, the battle situation on the northern front every year gave them great pressure, pinning down half of the high-ranking monks of the sect on Yuntai Mountain. Finally, the war was over, and the sect, from the Jindan ancestor to the disciples in the Qi training period, were all overjoyed, and they were unwilling to continue to fight and continue to go on an expedition to work as a teacher.

Zhang Zhixuan saw that no one spoke, and immediately said: "Ignoring it will not work after all, if we don't care about Dongyang Mountain, outsiders will think that we have no backbone, and we will also show our weakness to outsiders, and it will be difficult for our interests to be respected." Therefore, at this time, even if it is difficult, it is necessary to bite the bullet and pocket the interests of Dongyang Mountain Lingshi Mine. As the saying goes, if you fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come, even if a war breaks out again because of this spirit stone mine, it is much better than forbearance. ”

Jin Lan Daoren sighed and said: "Zhixuan is right, but if we can avoid a big war, we should try not to break out a big war, this time we still have to salute first and then soldier." A few of our sect leaders went to Dongyang Mountain in person three days later to see if we could talk to the Huanshui Sect. Even if we give up some of our interests, we will try to strive for a long-term peaceful situation.

If the Huanshui Sect thinks that we are bullying and want to monopolize the Dongyang Mountain Spirit Stone Mine, then listen to Zhixuan's intentions, immediately attack Dongyang Mountain, pull out this nail, and then prepare for a long-term war. ”
